Lower Seletar Sunrise by YOUNG SUN CHASER


Am seeing repetition of composition in this series, just at different balance in horizon.

Personally, I prefer #7. 50/50 composition work well as it gives a balance between the land and reflection.

Your fave of the day is nice too but reflection should not brighter than the light source.
 

From your photo here, I found out you learn fast and apply what you learn fast, apply Rule of the Thirds and apply interesting subject into the sunrise photo.

Love your pic #3 and 5 for the composition and expo control. Good job. :thumbsup:

Hi Silverpine,
Thanks for the comments and glad you like it. I hope to improve myself and shoot more after my exam starting next week.
Btw, I just saw you photos too. Amazing sunset.:)

Hi Soulfly,
Thanks, I shall improve on that. And now I learn reflection should not be brighter than the light source.:)
 

Hello Uncle Zerocool,
Yes I understand abit more now. May I say detail is dynamism. i download a chart from B+W for 6 f-stops and I do the calculation from this chart. You are very helpful and thanks again.:):)

refer to the cambridge in colour site, and below is the excerpt:

Neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce the amount of light reaching the camera's sensor. This is useful when a sufficiently long exposure time is not otherwise attainable within a given range of possible apertures (at the lowest ISO setting).

Situations where ND filters are particularly useful include:


* Smoothing water movement in waterfalls, rivers, oceans, etc.
* Achieving a shallower depth of field in very bright light
* Reducing diffraction (which reduces sharpness) by enabling a larger aperture
* Making moving objects less apparent or not visible (such as people or cars)
* Introducing blur to convey motion with moving subjects


dynamism means you convey a sense of movement in the picture. So a long exposure smoothens the flow of water, or captures the movement of clouds, etc.
If nothing moves in the photo, then using an ND filter has little value... hope that helps.
